What happened
Railroads are currently transporting petroleum to regional processing hubs. One report noted that a single railcar can carry approximately 700 barrels of crude oil, which is comparable to the hauling capacity of 300 trucks. The report also mentioned that the Illinois Central, which is now part of Canadian Pacific Kansas City, has a history of rail operations.

Why it matters
The movement of petroleum via rail is a significant logistical operation in the energy sector. Rail transport is noted for its high fuel efficiency compared to semi-trucks, which can move a ton of freight over 500 miles on a single gallon of diesel.
